Wednesday
Midweek.

The twins seem to be doing well. Not quite back at 100%, but I’d give them high-80s to low-90s. And they’ve become quite the attention whores, as Jess calls them. Sometimes, they get pretty mouthy when they aren’t being lavished with attention and affection. But, they’re still cute.

On the flip side of the coin, Sissy seems to be more perturbed with them now than she was before we took them to the vet. Maybe she thought that they weren’t coming back and is mad that she has to share again. She’s been growling and generally bitchy to them. *shrug* She’ll get over it. Eventually.

  • Vin Diesel… as Lex Luthor…? *shiver* That would be wrong on so many levels.
  • I just read an preview about “This Little Piggy,” this week’s episode of Justice League Unlimited. It made me laugh.

    “This Little Piggy,” this Saturday’s episode of Justice League Unlimited, features a musical number with Batman.

    Really.

    “Since 1991, when we first started making Batman, we always joked about making Batman: The Musical because Kevin Conroy, who voices Batman, is a fine singer,” explained Justice League voice director Andrea Romano. “In this episode, Batman is forced to do something humiliating in order for a spell to be reversed. And what he is forced to do is sing a song, and he sings it wonderfully.”

    Rachel York, who plays Circe in “This Little Piggy,” also gets to sing in the episode.

    “You just don¹t get to do many musical numbers in Justice League, so that’s really, really fun,” Romano said.

  • When I think of “Thor,” this (big guy on the left) seems much more appropos than this one.

Poll of the Day

I think that’s all.
For now.

Namaste.
